MODERATORS
 

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a prominent Republican congresswoman and a staunch ally of Trump, suggested a return to "measles parties" for children. She criticized contemporary attitudes towards vaccination, stating, "Now, they demonize parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids."

Nurgle cultist. May measles spread and give new life from the dead and rotten.

This is why Republicans are stupid, a vaccine is a controlled and safe measles exposure with some risk that is 1 in a 100. You are doing the same thing with measles parties but more reckless dangerous levels of infection and putting your kid at risk of death like 1/15 if you send them to the measles parties.

Pro Life only until it's born, then fuck that Life

They aren't pro-life. They are forced birth. It isn't about the baby, it's about power over women.

When did we start rewarding politicians for being angry and stupid?

The future seems not that bad now that I know we won't be seeing an entire generation of Republicans

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

We've been thinking that for three generations and somehow they're still here

She is one sick POS. Hopefully the measles will party with her one on one.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I fully agree, i think all trump voters should go to measles parties.

So what's her deal, anyway?

TL;DR: 10 pounds of crazy pressed into a 5 pound sack.

Sorry for the kids, but I have simply given up to care about the members of this suicide cult.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

As a former child (read: captive) of ultra conservative christian fuckwits, I implore you to try to care. It’s not those kids’ fault they have shitty stupid parents.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I will always vote and support laws that allow children access to proven medical treatments without the permission from the parents.

Well, that is certainly one way to vax a community against most contagious diseases. And I will admit that it’s better than not vaccinating at all. But not by much. The standard vaccine protocol would be cheaper and more effective.

Damned fool of an idiot.

It's actually worse because measles infection wipes out your immunity for other infections. Not to mention that even if you don't die, 40% of people with measles infections end up needing hospitalization.
